A molded, carved and painted beechwood chair with an openwork back decorated with intertwined dolphins, the uprights with flutes and rudentures joined by an upper channel crosspiece topped by a ribboned armrest, the horseshoe-shaped seat resting on small tapered legs with flutes; (small restorations and missing parts, notably a rose at the back) Attributed to Georges Jacob. Louis XVI period. H : 92 cm, W : 47 cm Provenance : Former collection of André Saint at the Château de Sainte-Mesme These two chairs (lots 104 and 105) have an identical structure and ornamental repertoire, but differ in the theme they illustrate, military glory for one and maritime glory (in the case of a family with an admiral or a Grand Admiral of France, such as the family of the Duke of Penthièvre) for the other. Alternatively, a link with the future dauphin king Louis XVI cannot be totally excluded. The hypothesis that we formulate here amounts to grouping these two chairs as having belonged in the 18th century to the same furniture destined for a games room. The attribution to Georges Jacob is based on the structure and the ornamentation of these chairs as well as certain carpentry details such as the hollowing out of the inside of the belts characteristic of the manner of Jacob's workshop.
